United States v. Brenda Lu Smith
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit · Decided February 22, 1994 · Baldock, Aldisert, Brorby
19 F.3d 485; 1994 U.S. App. LEXIS 3137; 1994 WL 55884 (Federal Reporter, Third Series)

United States v. Brenda Lu Smith

Opinion

ORDER AND JUDGMENT

ALDISERT, Circuit Judge.

Brenda Lu Smith appeals the district court’s special verdict ordering forfeiture following her conviction for two counts of mail fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341 and three counts of money laundering in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1957. The Appellant raised this issue on appeal in order to preserve her position that, should we reverse the underlying criminal conviction, we must necessarily reverse the forfeiture order. Accordingly, because we affirmed her conviction in United States v. Smith, 13 F.3d 1421 (10th Cir. 1994), we will also affirm the order of forfeiture.
